Big applause for Clara, who gave an excellent talk on her PhD project! She killed it! 👏❤️‍🔥
Once again, we’re at the Eden Roc Hotel, celebrating our annual conference! #INCUABConf26 We are together to learn about the research projects of our PhD students, PIs and invited speakers, strengthen collaborations, and spend time in amazing company!

It’s #MitoWeek, the week of our favourite organelles. Their likely origin (from bacteria that began cooperating with early cells) reminds us of the power of teamwork, just like in our lab, where every piece contributes to advancing our understanding of mitochondrial diseases🔬💚

While some lab members are in Japan (!) for 2 different conferences, we're looking back at the meetings we've taken part in this semester. Read our latest blog post for the highlights, and join us in trying not to be too jealous of our colleagues in Japan webs.uab.cat/mitochondrial-n…

This July, @QuintanaLab and the research groups led by Dr @GimenezLlort and Dr Raül Andero took part in two of @FCLP_Fundacio's flagship programmes for inspiring the next generation of scientists: BIYSC and Joves i Ciència. Read more: uab.cat/en/incuab/news/20260…

We're delighted to welcome Dani to our lab this summer! He joins us through the Joves i Ciència program by @FCLP_Fundacio giving talented high school students the chance to experience research firsthand. We hope he enjoys this first taste of neuroscience research. Welcome, Dani!

The lab's traditional 4th of July lunch may have been late, but it still checked all the boxes: pool, burgers, and the best company. Some traditions are worth waiting for!

@BackyardBrains so much fun!! Starting to think on potential experiments for my students!
Albert has a new toy... Albertito! It is a Backyard Brains SpikerBot: an educational robot controlled by simulated neural circuits. In theory, he will use it to teach neuroscience, but he is having lots (too much?) of fun meanwhile! @albert_qr78

Some of us are in Angers this week for #EUROMIT2026! It's been a great opportunity to share our research, connect with colleagues, and learn about the latest advances in mitochondrial biology and disease. Special congrats to Aniol and Marta for their excellent flash talks! 👏

10/12-year-old students from the CROMA programme, organized by the Fundació Autònoma Solidària, visited our lab yesterday. We loved discussing science with them!

Some of us were at the #CajalConference2026 last week. Organized by @SENC_, it was held in Cádiz (such a beautiful city!). Beyond the science, it was a great chance to reconnect, meet new people, and exchange ideas in a relaxed setting. More on our blog: webs.uab.cat/mitochondrial-n…

Excited that @albert_qr78 will take part in “Mitochondria Volume 3: Mitochondrial Plasticity in Metabolism and Signalling” this October in Cologne. Great chance to hear leading researchers in mitochondrial biology! Free attendance, open registration: mitochondria-volume3.uni-koe…

Our very own Roser Bastida @bb_roser just became a Doctor today!! While she is an expert in science communication, we had to take her role with this post! So proud of her!!!

Last Friday, @albert_qr78 took part in the #STEMTalksMenorca2026, organized by the @GDGMenorca, talking about the research we do in the lab. For once, he was surrounded by engineering students instead of biomed people! And all happened in an amazing spot at the Port of Maó 😍

We celebrated the lab's calçotada today! Making the fire took us longer than doing a triple magnetic-activated cell sorting? Yes, but finally hem menjat, hem rigut, bona sort que n'hem tingut! What a teaaam 😍
